As a boy I grew with love and joy A mum was all I had In a cosy flat filled with laughs and chat A mum but no dad She was always there nurturing with love and care Luckiest boy in the land I remember the day mum passed away I cried as I held her hand
As I sat next to her, in pain she was curled She said these words to me 'my love we have the best thing in the world It's time to let me be free. Remember all else is for naught Be the greatest you can be Never forget blood is all you've got You and I son are family'
I learned about life and yearned for a wife Someone to share my dream At the age of twenty eight I found my soulmate Perfect or so it seemed We had a boy and a girl together they were my world Nothing I wouldn't do My wife strayed but still I stayed My kids were my glue
I realised my soulmate's love was lost Some day I would be free I knew some things were worth the cost I recalled mum's words to me 'Remember all else is for naught Be the greatest you can be Never forget blood is all you've got You and I son are family'
It took some more years and lots more tears To learn what mum meant I came to know that lovers come and go Families are heaven sent She was never there to nurture or care So I made my stand I remember the day their mother ran away They cried as I held their hand
I sat them down, my boy and girl Repeated my mum's words to me My loves, we have the best thing in the world We have it all just us three. Remember all else is for naught We are the greatest we can be We will never forget blood is all we have got We have it all, we are family.
